  • winter street -Jacar Press

    the black mountains rise up cities cloud-urban citadels not the crow clang-tapping a tin post not the screel and soar of the gull can prevent it tails of berries strew the ground littered already with wasp-hasps wet leaves rain washed the trees out my body in its wet and dry calls yours it does not […]
